Renoir

Pierre Auguste Renoir was part of the impressionist movement in France in the later part of the 18th century. His themes are domestic and his models are ordinary people. Although his work lacks drama and tragedy, he is admired not only for the beauty and harmony in his painting, but of his honest treatment of his subject matter without resorting to the over intellectualization of some of his contemporaries.
